The Ultimate Expression of Optimism

New Life

During the last few months our globe has been filled with extreme pain and sorrow. 

It has made me realize how important friends and family are. We must not take them for granted.

I have also taken great joy in lots of little things. I find myself stopping along my evening bike rides on Phoenix's canals to admire the ducks being trailed by little rows of ducklings. 

Fewer cars on the road has left room for bunnies and quail along with much cleaner air (delivering epic sunsets). 

Now, at the zenith of spring, the trails I ride are bordered by desert flowers in full radiant bloom. 

It seems that new life springing up all around is an expression of nature's ultimate optimism. 

And, to cap it all, I just became aware I will soon become a first time grandparent. 

When all else fails, nature reminds me that, with care, things can get better. 

Please, lets work to make sure of it for those we love and for those we will soon come to love.
